Ooh La La! Sprint Debuts Le Sprint Drive

April 01, 2019
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. and PARIS, 1 Avril 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Every self-respecting Francophile and beret enthusiast embraces the opportunity to indulge in the finest brie, baguette and Bordeaux. So why not live all aspects of life to the fullest?

Now you can – with Le Sprint Drive.

Le Sprint Drive is the next iteration of the wildly popular Sprint Drive, an innovative product that scores your driving, provides roadside assistance and turns your vehicle into an LTE mobile hotspot. Sprint CEO and renowned Frenchman Michel Combes saw a unique chance to bring a petite taste of France to America.

“I was craving ma mère’s soupe à l’oignon and rich cassoulet but also wanted those around me to immerse themselves in the many delights of my home country,” said noted French wine enthusiast Combes.

He embarked on a cultural journey with the Sprint product team to develop a new, innovative way for customers to truly experience all France has to offer.

Le Sprint Drive delivers the same perks as Sprint Drive, and so much more. Just plug it in and the intuitive, French-speaking AI will help you navigate to the most authentic French restaurants, wineries and art galleries. It’ll even show you where you can adopt a French poodle with a proper coiffure.

Our customers who crave the French way of life will no longer have to find an independent cinema featuring Jean-Luc Godard or Agnès Varda films. Now, with Le Sprint Drive, you can vive la France right from your own car.

Longing for a baguette? Le Sprint Drive will identify the perfect camembert to go with that. Desiring a drink? How about a delicate rosé? Want to know how to ask for directions en français? Puis-je obtenir les directions!

Le Sprint Drive is the only true French experience on the market. Unlike the competition, Le Sprint Drive* offers a robust array of amenities with the capacity to deliver a truly nationwide French experience.
